Surf 6 May 23-26, 2013 Isabela, Philippines This surf trip was months in the making. Thought it wouldn't push through because of a lot of changes until only three of us were left for the trip. But hey 3 is still a good number! Last minute changes and yiii ended to have 9 as a good good number! Boards loaded  Thursday morning all of us met up at Baler. We rented a van to take us to Dilasag Pier. And the ultimate Love.Risk.Surf.Live episode begins. 5 hours trip to Dilasag. We thought once we get there we could all leave for Isabela already. But no! We had to wait at the Pier for 13 hours! The long wait was bearable because of each ones company. Yeah. Fishing while waiting, SLEEPING, eating, SLEEPING. Boat ride to Palanan My bed for the trip       12:30am the next day Friday, we finally left Dilasag. 8 hours boat trip. Whew! What a relief that we got to our camp safely. Agenda for the day: rent a boat, visit Papa Jack's Tita Mary (whom he has never met)

Surf 5 May 18-19 Baler, Aurora It's Ate Russiell's birthday on the 19th so I plotted my surf trip on this weekend. And what a surprise! Justine and Juris were also there. Wahines represent yeah:) Waves were not good to us though. Small sets and short rides. But I was happy to catch some even if paddle power is what it takes to ride it. Best time to surf there really starts September. Well there are other things to do even without the waves. Skate, food trip, gala trip, and just plain chill tambay:) Evening of Satruday was awesome! Party at Rada's, (well now called Rushie's Point). I need more time to get used to calling it Rushie's. Yeahay! Happy happy birthday Ate Russiell! Cold beer and yiii quality pancit, kaldereta, sweet and sour fish and CAKE:) Happy happy night. And what made this trip really touching was the fact that Sebastian now considers me his best friend. Yiii what a kyot kyot boy. Some photos from Juris. And oh I forgot to mention, Fredd

These made my day

When it hangs

This morning I was updating my Facebook and Instagram and kept on switching from one application to another. When suddenly my phone hangs. I can't turn on the device and charging didn't help. I wanted to remove my sim card and poof some small piece comes off. Uggh. I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I was looking for the battery, cos I thought removing it would help but apparently Xperia Go has internal battery. I googled for "how to fix Xperia Go when it hangs" and a forum appeared. Whew! So here's the remedy. Press and hold Power +Volume up button for a while. It will vibrate once first and then thrice. Then power on the phone just as normal.   Voila!! It worked for me:)) Yiiii. I'm so happy. 

As I Always Say...Hmmmm

This was some time last year. I had nothing to do and I saw the one-day Surfcuit invite of Philippine Surfing Academy on Facebook. Club Manila East is 20minutes away from our house, so I headed there to try the surf even if I was alone. Yeahay! What a fun experience. Met new friends of course. Paolo Soler and Lorraine Lapus was there to assist us with the drills and the actual surf. We also had Aisa Locsin with us who led the yoga session at the beginning. That one day session I must say strengthened my arms! You have to paddle hard to ride the waves. It was really tiring but fun. Waves were consistent, so no time to rest. Gotta go, paddle hard, and ride or else you're left behind!:)
